Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for calculating a head loss coefficient and branch pipe flow distribution of a multi-point water intake. The method includes the following steps: inputting and determining a structure and size information of the multi-point water intake; determining a head loss coefficient; determining a head loss coefficient form of a confluence port; pre-estimating or adjusting a trial flow; performing trial calculation on the head loss coefficient of each branch pipe; comparing the head losses calculated by two flow paths; and carrying out overall calculation. According to the present invention, the flow of each branch pipe is adjusted and the head loss coefficient is repeatedly calculated by utilizing iterative calculation of the head loss coefficients of the flows in two directions, so that the head loss and the flow distribution proportion can be finally and accurately calculated.
